My Background and Approach
To be honest, I never found therapy very helpful before I got involved with the arts as a therapeutic process. It was just too “in my head” to be helpful for me. At the time, I was hanging out in my head all day long already. My whirlwind of thoughts made it too easy to hang on to controlling the process. I needed to get into my whole self. Does this sound familiar? It’s hard to let go enough to get out of our own way. The artistic process has helped me learn (and I’m still learning) to “trust the process” and appreciate my whole self. I feel inspired to help you explore and create your own story of appreciation, or calm, or acceptance… or whatever healing you are seeking. Dance, music, theater, writing and visual arts have had a profound effect on me throughout my life. My vision is to share this experience with my clients and community. I work with individuals, groups, and develop/present arts-based workshops and retreats.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe the artistic process is a healing process. I've experienced this personally. It's fun and enlightening while re-training your brain to overcome tough emotions like shame, guilt and judgment. It also sometimes unexpectedly brings up stuff you've avoided looking at in a way that allows you to slow down and look at it, perhaps even finding acceptance of self.
